Waterloo, ONPosted Feb 2021 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I got to the process through my school’s job search site, and it started with back-to-back interviews that were both about 45 minutes with two different interviewers.

The whole tone was immediately off for me: both interviewers felt cold and disengaged, and the second one kept checking his phone like he wanted to be anywhere else. As soon as I started answering, he’d cut in with his own answers whenever I didn’t respond fast enough.

By the end of the second interview, I was overwhelmed and honestly in tears, feeling like I couldn’t even finish my thoughts. I walked out ready to go home. That experience left me with the clear feeling that the process wasn’t set up for a fair, two-way conversation—just quick performance under pressure.
